I wonder if the update delay has something to do with syncing it with the certificated device?

I look forward to looking at the PC version, as there are few PC EFBs that I've found.

I don't disagree that the aural approach has benefits. Let me mention a few other considerations. I learned to fly AOA in a two-pilot system. That let one divide attention a little better because one could focus more and let the other pilot handle certain things. The AOA I learned with was...

I talked to the Dynon boss at Oshkosh and said I'd like a visual AOA on the glare shield. He told me to use the aural notice. Ergo, I got the impression that anything visual with AOA was not going to get support at the highest levels of Dynon. Your idea is interesting and I'd like to see it...

Yes, I put together the 40A alternator from parts, identical to but not purchased from Rotax. Shipping now. I'm also running a 10W amateur radio.

If I put the heated pitot tube and control box in the left wing and move the remote magnetometer to the tail, can I leave the OAT sensor in the left wing where it is now? I'll run the wires for both the OAT and the heated pitot tube in the same chase.

I've tentatively decided to move the remote magnetometer from the left wing to the tail in the area covered by the ventral fin. I'll have to take the fin off, fabricate a mount, epoxy it on to the outside of the tail and put the fin back on. Running the wire is no problem. This is a...

I'm either going to have to do without the remote magnetometer, move it to the fuselage, or cut a hole in the carbon fiber wing to install the heated pitot tube and wiring in the other wing. None of these options is palatable.

New development - I am having trouble getting access for the hoses and wires to the pitot tube site I prefer.  One possible option will place the heated pitot tube, mounting apparatus and control very close to the remote magnetometer. My question is what is the closest I can place those two...

I was initially worried about the galvanic action between aluminum and carbon fiber, but apparently there are work-arounds that obviate that concern. http://eaaforums.org/showthread.php?4503-Carbon-Fiber-Panels-Touching-Aluminum-Frame/page2&s=c701021da8a222e4639e6138ef8c66cd...

Thanks, Interesting and useful. I have a Flight Design CTSW and am working with a wing already built. I have access through one hole. I have to build up a mount so am wondering how to embed the captured nuts. Just "glass them in"? Put them on some kind of frame and glass the frame in? I'm...

Has anyone any experience or knowledge of installing the Dynon heated pitot in a carbon fiber wing?

I'm sorry I raised the question. I did not intend to divert the subject. I thought it was a simple question but will not pursue it. I must not have asked it well because the responses are divergent from what I was getting at. I'll drop it. My fault. Carry on.

Let's suppose you decide to change the oil on your Rotax 912ULS every 35 hours but one day you decide to go over and take it to 50 hours. You crash and injure a fellow passenger and it turns out to be an engine problem. Your passenger mentions that you had an oil change alert on but blew it...

All kinds of them and cheap. Look in any of the aircraft suppliers like Aircraft Spruce for dsub pin extractor.

Are the reports from frequencies all across the band? If so, are they consistent or are some frequencies better than others? Do you hear everyone OK on all frequencies? Have you tried using a different antenna on the ground, maybe connecting the radio to a correct homemade dipole to isolate...

The google search that was offered didn't seem to provide the specific citation I was hoping for. If we are sharing non-legal opinions here is a Dan Johnson post of April this year which concludes that E-LSA may fly IFR legally. https://generalaviationnews.com/2017/04/17/can-you-fly-ifr-in-an-lsa/

I'm interested in the statement that Rotax can specify certification limits for their engine in an experimental aircraft. Can someone please point me to the supporting reference so I can see the wording myself? The more specific the reference the better, please.

15.2 Primary Field-of-View. Primary optimum FOV is based on the vertical and horizontal visual fields from the design eye reference point that can be accommodated with eye rotation only. With the normal line-of-sight established at 15 degrees below the horizontal plane, the values for the...

You are missing the main point. I can get the ADAHRS pretty much right. How do I get the MAG 236 congruent with the ADAHRS?
